Having been following Glyos lightly since shortly after its inception and paying close-ish attention since 2010, I know RealxHead
products don't come up much. Mori is a guy who makes low-run,
hand-painted and assembled vinyl figures in tiny batches sold mostly
through actual physical stores. This means you most likely aren't going
to get them. The runs he does are small, and based on the numbers I
saw in the carts on launch day Stryker Lock Mohawk sold through
in under two minutes. You could still add units to your cart for
somewhere under 120 seconds, and that's it - when I checked inventory it
was down to double digits quite quickly, which prompted an announcement
for a possible fourth run. (This would be the second US shot at the
figures.) These products come and go quickly, and their hand-made
low-run nature inspires the awed, hushed tones that make them something
of the toy equivalent of cryptozoology.[ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]

If you missed out on the Kickstarter, the 5-inch Glyos-compatible super-articulated Skeleton Warriors are up for grabs at October Toys now. Baron Dark (left) is boxed and $20. Unpainted Titan Skeleton and Glow Titan Skeleton are each $10. They're really good, especially the $10 ones - I'm working on a review right now, so get yours and play along at home.

Clear with more paint! The Neo Granthan Pyrotellica
is an orange release that looks like it probably owes a little bit -
OK, a lot - to Micronauts. The previous Armorvor toys have rarely been
clear, and those that have only had a tiny bit of paint. This is the
first one to have painted faces on clear plastic, making it unique for a
variety of reasons beyond merely being a new color with a newish head
sculpt. Seemingly fans didn't jump on this one, because it didn't sell
out quickly and actually stuck around along with his brothers beyond the
point that the orders actually began to show up. It's still available
as of my writing this, which is odd for a generally popular mold.[ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]

If you're going to C2E2, you've got ample reason to hit up the Nerd City booth (number unknown) once again. Marty "The Godbeast" Hansen once again has a pretty healthy Glyos offering with Kabuto Mushi figures based on a variety of inspirations, all of which can be seen here.

There are four figures in all including the Boba Fett-themed Hunter Mushi, the Skeletor-themed Overlord Mushi, and even a winged Hornet Mushi to name a few. Figures range $16 to $25.

Six new and returning items will go on sale Friday at 12:00 PM Pacific time. This page has details of the drop, with 3 new figures at $12-$15, a new $3 weapon pack, and 2 returning figures at $20 each. If you like He-Man, it's probably worth a look!

Starting Saturday, you can get some new parts! The 481 Universe expands according to this post: "New clear accessories are approaching fast!" What accessories and which colors remain to be seen, but heads, helmets, and weapons are promised in an $8 packet. Sounds fun!

The Glyos News Dump is a project run by 16bit.com and is in not affiliated with Onell Design or their official Glyos Transmission Web Log. (Although it's worth noting that we do like them a lot, and they're very nice people.)
